The white caps atop the Rock and Pillar Range were the only tell-tale sign it had been a bitterly cold week leading to the 120th Strath Taieri A&P Show on Saturday. The sou-westerly wind died down and the sun came out for the large crowd to enjoy the competition and community connection. Alice Scott photographed some of the action.
